[…] one. Chapter three focuses on the contribution of lifestyle to inequalities in self-assessed health. Using panel data from the British Health and Lifestyle Survey, it considers the impact of education and socio-economic status on self-assessed health and also considers how these impacts are reduced after accounting for lifestyle factors. This chapter also examines the […]
[…] increase the employment prospects of the low-skilled as well as to support their living standard. In this paper a simple CGE model is developed to simulate the impact of the introduction of an employmentconditional scheme in four OECD countries. The simulated policy package is graduated on gross earnings with both “phase-in” and “phase-out” regions. […]
[…] problems in the past has a particularly strong influence on the current financial situation and on the risk of eviction. The regional unemployment rate has an important impact on both the probability of having difficulties meeting housing costs and of eviction, highlighting the importance of the general economic climate in determining unsustainable housing commitments. […]
We examine the impact of moving home, the distance moved and reasons for moving on both household income and labour market earnings for a representative sample of individuals using panel data. Our results suggest that there are monetary returns to migration which apply to both household income and labour market earnings. However, not all […]
[…] which household characteristics determine taxes and benefits in each country. Hypothetical calculations such as those presented here do not exploit the ability of EUROMOD to determine the impact of social and fiscal policies on actual populations. Nevertheless, they can be a valuable contribution to understanding tax-benefit systems since they allow us to separate the […]
[…] the society. It sets out, in general terms, the design of a programme of research that looks beyond issues of mobility between social positions, to consider the impact of positions on material conditions, and the reciprocal impact of conditions on subsequent positions, discussing also the theoretical basis of various of the measures that will […]
[…] of training takes place either at the workplace or at the employer’s training centre, and that most training is paid for by employers. We also estimate the impact of training – controlling for its financing method – on wages. We find that employer-financed training increases wages both in the current and future firms, with […]
Using data from the first six waves of the British Household Panel Survey, we estimate the impact of working longer hours over 1991 to 1995 on 1996 wages. We find that there are positive but diminishing long-term returns, with the returns becoming negative beyond 47 hours for women and 59 hours for men. The […]
In this paper we use important new training and wage data from the British Household Panel Survey to estimate the impact of the national minimum wage (introduced in April 1999) on the work-related training of low-wage workers. We use two ‘treatment groups’ for estimating the impact of the new minimum wage – those workers […]
In this article, we analyse whether involuntary job separations present long-term effects upon individuals’ careers, and the magnitude of such effects. For this purpose, the impact of involuntary job separations on three measures of occupational prestige is examined, using the British Household Panel Survey. Involuntary job separations are found to show a negative effect […]
